PREFACE. 


The  lack  of  local  materials  suitable  for  road  construction  in  many 
sections  of  Illinois  makes  the  knowledge  of  commercial  deposits  a 
matter  of  special  importance  to  all  concerned  in  highway  construc- 
tion. An  effort  has  been  made  to  compile  in  readily  available  form 
information  regarding  commercial,  deposits  of  road  materials  which 
have  been  brought  to  the  attention  of  the  Illinois  State  Highway 
Department  during  the  past  years.  While  this  information  is  some- 
what incomplete,  it  will  undoubtedly  be  of  much  value  to  highway 
officials  and  contractors  in  Illinois. 


INTRODUCTION. 


Road  construction  in  Illinois  is  somewhat  handicapped  by  the 
lack  of  suitable  materials.  Gravel  pits  and  stone  quarries  are  scarce 
in  the  central,  eastern  and  southern  portions  of  Illinois,  and  materials 
used  in  building  hard  surfaces  on  highways  have  to  be  shipped  in, 
often  from  considerable  distances.  As  these  materials  are  very  heavy 
and  their  transportation  is  expensive,  it  is  necessary,  in  order  to  select 
properly  the  type  of  construction  and  to  make  satisfactory  estimates, 
to  have  knowledge  of  the  deposits  of  material  which  are  most  readily 
available  and  at  lowest  cost. 

It  should  be  noted  in  this  connection  that  owing  to  wide  variations 
in  freight  rates  and  to  prohibitive  switching  rates,  it  is  sometimes  pos- 
sible to  obtain  materials  which  have  to  be  transported  by  rail  for  long 
distances,  cheaper  than  materials  from  quarries  or  pits  which  are 
located  within  a few  miles  of  the  work.  The  necessity  of  hauling  with 
teams  for  long  distances  will  also  often  prohibit  the  use  of  certain 
materials. 

The  following  lists  of  pits,  quarries  and  other  sources  of  road 
materials  contain  information  regarding  commercial  deposits  of  road 
materials  which  have  been  brought  to  the  attention  of  the  Illinois  State 
Highway  Department  during  the  past  years.  Owing  to  the  large 
increase  in  highway  construction,  new  deposits  of  road  materials  have 
been  frequently  opened  during  the  past  year,  and  a number  of  the 
pits  and  quarries  have  changed  ownership  repeatedly.  For  these 
reasons,  the  following  information  is  somewhat  incomplete  and  prob- 
ably contains  a few  errors.  In  general,  the  information  given  has 
been  obtained  from  the  individual  or  company  owning  or  operating  the 
materials  deposits. 

A few  deposits  which  are  likely  to  become  of  commercial  value, 
and  some  deposits  which  have  been  of  commercial  value  in  the  past, 
but  which  for  some  reason  have  been  closed,  are  included  in  this  bulle- 
tin. 

No  attempt  has  been  made,  however,  to  include  in  these  lists 
information  regarding  small  deposits,  and  deposits  so  located  that 
they  are  only  of  local  value.  There  is  no  doubt,  however,  that  many 
of  the  rock  ledges,  gravel  beds,  and  sand  banks  of  which  little  is  known 
at  the  present  time,  contain  some  materials  of  satisfactory  quality.  A 
number  of  these  deposits,  especially  those  located  where  suitable  mate- 
rials are  scarce,  would  be  of  much  value  if  equipped  with  the  necessary 
facilities  for  producing  materials  of  the  desired  sizes  and  for  making 
shipments  by  rail.  It  is  essential  in  order  to  obtain  economical  road 
building,  that  before  plans  for  highways  are  to  be  drawn,  an  endeavor 
be  made  to  locate  any  deposits  which  may  be  found  in  the  neighbor- 
hood. Local  authorities  may  be  of  much  assistance  in  highway  work 
by  securing  this  information  and  keeping  it  on  record. 


A number  of  counties  through  their  board  of  supervisors  have 
taken  in  the  past  year  a step  in  the  right  direction  in  this  matter,  and 
have  voted  a small  appropriation  to  be  expended  in  taking  borings 
from  rock  ledges,  and  in  sinking  caissons  in  gravel  deposits.  There 
is  no  doubt  that  where  money  appropriated  for  this  purpose  is 
expended  properly,  much  valuable  information  should  be  obtained. 

The  laboratory  of  the  State  Highway  Department  is  not  at  the 
present  time  in  a position  to  make  investigations  to  locate  material 
deposits.  As  far  as  possible,  however,  it  will  assist  public  officials  in 
ascertaining  the  quality  of  any  new  road  material  which  has  been 
located. 


VIII. 


CLASSIFICATION  OF  DEPOSITS. 

The  material  deposits  have  been  listed  under  the  following  classifi- 
cation : 

(1)  Sand  and  Gravel;  (2)  Crushed  Stone;  (3)  Paving  Bricks; 
(4)  Portland  Cement;  (5)  Miscellaneous  Materials. 

The  materials  in  each  class  have  been  further  divided  according 
to  their  location  in  Illinois,  or  in  neighboring  states.  Each  deposit  has 
been  numbered,  and  this  number  is  given  on  the  maps  showing  the 
approximate  location  of  the  deposit,  and  also  with  the  description  of 
the  deposit  under  each  class  of  material.  The  pits  are. numbered  from 
north  to  south,  first  in  Illinois,  following  with  the  neighboring  states. 
Only  those  deposits  from  which  road  materials  have  been  shipped  to 
Illinois  in  the  past  have  been  listed. 

The  small  enclosed  maps  are  intended  to  show  only  the  approxi- 
mate location  of  the  deposits.  To  determine  the  shipping  facilities 
from  or  to  any  given  point,  reference  should  be  made  to  some  large 
railroad  map.
